Macy’s Ridgedale Center Expansion, Consolidation

Macy’s announced the consolidation of its two separate stores in Ridgedale Center in Minnetonka, MN, into the one expanded location beginning in early 2014. The current 202,000-square-foot Macy’s main store will be expanded and upgraded by approximately 84,000 square feet, with construction beginning in June 2013.

When this project is completed in early 2014, the men’s and home businesses currently in a separate 129,000-square-foot building will move into the main Macy’s store. The smaller building at Ridgedale Center will be closed and acquired by General Growth Properties for redevelopment.
